Brock and I have been working on free identity & access control related libraries since 2009. This all started as a hobby project, and I can very well remember the day when I said to Brock that we can only really claim to understand the protocols if we implement them ourselves. That’s what we did.

We are now at a point where the IdentityServer OSS project reached both enough significance and complexity what we need to find a sustainable way to manage it. This includes dealing with issues, questions and bug reports as well as feature and pull requests.

That’s why we decided to set up a sponsorship page on Patreon. So if you like the project and want to support us – or even more important, if you work for a company that relies on IdentityServer, please consider supporting us. This will allow us to be able to maintain this level of commitment.
